The Blues also have a large contingent of Brazilian players, which would make the move more enticing for Coutinho.

His fellow countryman, Neymar, could try and persuade him to move to the Ligue 1 champions who are desperate for Champions League success.

Manchester United have also been linked with Coutinho for a number of months, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is believed to be keen on a potential summer swoop for him.

However, the Red Devils have a disadvantage in the race for Coutinho as, according to Sport, the player is unwilling to represent one of Liverpool's biggest rivals having been on the Anfield club's books for five years.
